Simple Ingredients for Big Flavor
You probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 cup low-fat milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Easy Steps to Bake Blueberry Custard Cake
Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, milk, yogurt, and vanilla.
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Bring It All Together:
Gradually sprinkle the dry mixture into the wet, whisking until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center looks set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool slightly, then dust with a pinch of powdered sugar (optional) and serve warm or chilled.
Why Blueberry Custard Cake is the Perfect Anytime Treat
This cake makes a dreamy dessert, but it’s also ideal for brunch gatherings or as an afternoon pick-me-up. Enjoy it plain, or add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a few extra berries on top for even more goodness.
Tips for Success
- Fresh vs. Frozen Berries: Either works great! If using frozen, don’t thaw just add them straight to the batter.
- Storing Leftovers: Cover and keep in the fridge for up to three days. It’s even tastier the next day!
- Make it Gluten-Free: Swap the whole wheat flour for your favorite gluten-free blend.
